As you can see the buds are super sticky make sure to have enough gloves 🧤 Harvest in 2 times the top buds then 7-10 days later the lower buds✂️ No popcorn 🍿 The smell is divine sweet candy with a touch of cardamom 🍭🍬 See you in 2025 for the smoke review Take care 😎

I put the plant under the SCROG and did little bit of defolation, plat looks happy and healthy.

LSTd Mr Squatty. He so very small, decided he's a "he" even though he's not. Growth all-be-it slow is very even, like a well made bed. As long as it's slow I'm okay to wait but all in, it will do what it's gonna do.

Aug 23: Tropicana Cookies Fast Flowering is. cruising along toward the finish. Nice and symmetric with 16 colas all forming a nice long stick of buds. Should be a really good yield off of this one. No pue colour uet but I’m sure it’s coming soon. Aug 27: hit 32 C today and will be hot for another five days or so. With this late heat wave I’ve upped the daily water volume to about 9 L a day over three waterings. Still adding potassium silicate once a day and always adjusting pH with vinegar and then a squirt of Dr Bronners Peppermint Soap as a wetting agent. Smell of peppermint also repels pests, supposedly.

4/18 66 Days Just some progress pictures, no major changes here beyond dialing in the Blumat Maxi carrots. 4/16 64 Days Actual week, 9! If you're wondering where all my other not actually week 9 shit went, I moved it back to week 8. Who am I kidding, no one gives a shit! Everyone now has a Blumat Maxi watering carrot. Now that they are just fattening up I can scale back on them and start focusing a bit more on Phimo, who's just reached ScrOG! Two feedings of their weekly tea, Sunday and Tuesday.

giving full freedom to da flower'

Week 8 for Mango Merengue, week 7 for Afghan Hash, and week 6 for Sour Diesel. I'm taking down Pheno #1 of the Mango Merengue today, it was faster to mature then Pheno #2 & #3. Pheno #2 & #3 have around 1-2 weeks left of flower. Mango Merengue - Small to Medium buds, strong Gassy/Melon smell, and packed with trichomes, average flowering time 8-9 weeks. Afghan Hash Plant- Medium buds, packed with trichomes, and has a Sweet/Earty smell. Average flowering time 8-9 weeks. Sour Diesel - Medium to Large buds, also packed with trichomes, really close bud formation, smells Gassy/Sweet. Average flowering time 10 weeks.

Only one video this week

6.4.25: FastBuds Mystery Seed #1: She has been topped twice and is looking pretty strong 💪 She has grown vertically, and leaves are always praying. Possibly too much light, so I have turned the dimmer down to about 90%. There are slight bleached tips on a couple of top leaves. I'm hoping to do the same LST with garden wire here very soon. Overall, the plant has nice big, fat leaves. Seemingly lush colour and vigorously growing since the double toppings. Very nice plant so far. 👌 13.4.25: This week has been so busy in the garden! I forgot to take any notes, so I'll see what I can do from memory! 😅 14.4.25: I have been super busy with all the other harvests in the past several days, so this is a little late. FastBuds Mystery seed #1 has been topped twice and the growth has been thick and lush. I watered several times this week, and I used Ecothrive Biosys with dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. I watered about 2 litres to each plant. I have been using wire, clips, and Bio stretch fabric plant ties to LST the plant. The plant has reached the 8 Gallon pot perimeter. The plant is in the first week of flower. I'm hoping to keep the canopy even with my RQS Northern Lights grow as I need to be able to compare the plants accurately for the experiments. I did snap off a branch, again the day after I said I'd be very careful 😖 The plant is very resilient though, and you wouldn't know anything happened at all, minus one of the first tops is missing. Thankfully I topped twice, so I still have 5 tops. Training Techniques used this week are LST and defoliation. I watered on 13th and 14th with the following solution; 4 litres of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 which contained: ♡ 8 ml Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag amino acids ♡ 1/2 Teaspoon Mega Crop Part A by Greenleaf Nutrients. PPM: 1000. 2 litres were given on two consecutive days. I watered in a top dress, which I will add what I used here, but it was another mess up, I'm sure you'll be surprised to hear 😅 Top dress: 4 gallons containing approximately: 50% Canna Terra Mix soil 25% Worm Castings 23% Perlite 2% Organic Dry Amendments, which were; ☆ Ecothrive Life Cycle ☆ Ecothrive Charge ☆ Diatomaceous Earth ☆ Ground Cinnamon ☆ RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules I used the top dress amount for established plants for a pot size of 30L / 8 Gallons. I'm not keen on the soil. I was supposed to get Canna Coco but I got sent Canna Terra in error. It was overdue for a top dress and I had nothing else to use. I don't like it in comparison. Coco is best for my needs. It's much fluffier, lighter, and easier to work with. Thanks for hanging out 🍃 ✌️ 💚 🙂

End of week 2, been a bit inconsistent this week with the pictures, but overall it looks good !

4/5 days left until harvest We go now slowly and daily down with the ec

She's finally started flowering

All doing perfect not alot to say, defoliated on 18/1/21 and tied a few branches where I could to make a little more room. Maybe 3weeks then ripen +flush Daily updates

They’re getting close! I could probably chop the GSC and GC but the Gelato has at least 2 weeks to go. I was hoping to bring them all down at once and dry in the tent but I may have to figure something else out. I think this is the most aesthetically pleasing garden ive grown so far. I enjoy all manner of plants and in general the GC is the nicest looking mj plant I’ve ever produced. I’d love a porch full just for the look! Anyways, all these girls are a little stunted from all the cold nights. Dark temps under 60, a lot under 50-55 for most of their lives but they look good, and still very frosty. Never had gelato or GC before so im excited to try them out, thanks for dropping by!

She was in need of a transplant so now she is in an air pot 9,5l, so her roots can thrive and prepare for flowering. It will be a long veg, and in some weeks I'll transplant her to a bigger pot to start flower. The plant is healthy and in the next week's will explode in growth, I'll apply some scrog and prepare her for the final phase!

So this is a diary I initially did away with because I didn't think she was going to make it.. I had tried black opium by a different breeder in the same medium and she died at a very young age so I thought the same was going to happen with this plant because he had a slow start to no fault of her own.. I say all that to say this Weedseedsexpress has some strong genetics because she has pulled through and I have given her a beaten ever since and she is taking it well... She's starting to get her groove and once the kabul is done and she has the tent to herself she'll be about ready for flower... This is a testament to Weedseedsexpress because I really didn't think it was possible to grow anything in this medium because this is the same medium that I use for my gummy bear grow and I poured ina whole bunch of salt based nutrients through that with minimal flush at the end of its run.. so huge shout out too Weedseedsexpress.. so far so good I highly recommend! .. also the damage on the leaves are from me topping it too early and thus damaging them when they were super small... No biggie they will grow out of it and this is going to be an awesome plant.. much love and happy growing everyone ✌️😎 day 39.. 3 days ago when I started this diary I did another round of topping as you could see in one of the pictures the shoots are starting already today I did some more training and she is taking it well.. I'm definitely pushing her to her limits and she's taking it which is crazy because like I said she should have died long ago to no fault of her own... In a week or so I'm going to transplant into 4 gallon pot and flip the flower around a week later.. happy growing everyone https://weedseedsexpress.com/us

Week 7 Flower | 12/12 From Seed Nectar Drip — Bulk, Frost & the Quiet Finish No drama this round. No chasing deficiencies. No heavy corrections. No unnecessary stress. Just stable roots, stable feed, stable environment — and plants doing exactly what healthy plants are supposed to do when you stop interrupting them. This run was built on simplicity from day one. 12/12 from seed. No veg extension. No topping. No high-stress shaping. No aggressive stripping. Just early guidance, clean structure, consistent watering, and enough light to let each plant express itself without wasting energy rebuilding from stress. That decision shaped everything we’re seeing now. By removing the recovery time that usually comes with topping, overtraining, or prolonged veg, these plants never had to pause and re-prioritize. They rooted, established, stretched, set flower, and transitioned directly into production mode. No detours. No wasted momentum. Just one continuous push from seed to flower. And now, in Week 7 flower, it shows. The canopy is heavy. The flowers are swelling. The resin is stacking hard. The fade has started. And the room is finishing with exactly the kind of top-to-bottom consistency this run was built for. ⸻ From Seed to Here — Why This Run Behaved Like It Did This room was never pushed for speed. It was built for continuity. That’s the difference. 12/12 from seed changes the entire rhythm of development. Instead of forcing long vegetative expansion and then asking the plant to completely shift gears, this approach keeps the metabolism focused and directional from the start. The plants stay efficient. Internodes stay tighter. Stretch stays controlled. Energy gets allocated earlier. And instead of building oversized frames that need correction later, the plant builds only what it intends to finish. That’s why this room developed the way it did. Not the biggest plants. Not the tallest plants. But highly efficient plants. Compact structure. Controlled vertical growth. Dense flower sites. Less wasted lower growth. Less larf. More usable biomass. That efficiency is exactly why they are carrying weight now. And because they were never heavily interrupted, resin production stayed consistent too. No major stress events, no stalled metabolism, no repeated recovery cycles. Just stable uptake, stable transpiration, and uninterrupted flower development. That’s where the frost comes from. Not magic. Not hype. Consistency. Stable roots feed stable flowers. Stable flowers stack stable resin. ⸻ Feed Strategy — Simple, Stable, Boring (and Exactly Why It Works) The feed is still intentionally simple, and that is the point. At this stage, the plants are not asking for complexity. They are asking for consistency. So instead of overloading the root zone with ten competing inputs, the approach stays clean, predictable, and easy for the plant to process. Current feed (per liter): * Terra Grow — 2.5 ml/L * Pure Zym — 1 ml/L * Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L * CalMag Pro — 1 ml/L * Power Buds — 1 ml/L * Green Sensation — 1 ml/L That’s it. Simple inputs. Stable ratios. No chaos in the root zone. Why each one is here: Terra Grow (2.5 ml/L) Still holding the base. Even this late, a controlled amount of nitrogen matters. Enough to support photosynthesis and maintain metabolic function, but not enough to keep the plant too green or delay senescence. At this stage, it is no longer feeding growth — it is supporting function. Pure Zym (1 ml/L) Quietly doing the dirty work in the root zone. Enzyme support helps break down residual organic matter, keeps the substrate cleaner, improves root-zone efficiency, and helps maintain smooth uptake late into flower when consistency matters most. Sugar Royal (1 ml/L) Used here to support terpene expression, aroma development, and overall secondary metabolite production. Not magic in a bottle — just one more gentle nudge toward stronger expression in the final weeks. CalMag Pro (1 ml/L) Still important under strong lighting and consistent transpiration. At this stage it is less about “fixing deficiency” and more about maintaining transport stability, cell integrity, and keeping the plant moving cleanly through the finish. Power Buds (1 ml/L) Supports flower-site commitment and reinforces reproductive focus. At this point it is less about creating sites and more about helping the plant continue investing in the ones already built. Green Sensation (1 ml/L) This is the finisher. PK support, density support, sugar movement, and late-stage flower swelling. Right now this is one of the key drivers behind the visible bulking and weight gain. Nothing excessive. Nothing aggressive. Just enough to keep the engine running clean while the plant finishes what it already decided to build. That’s the entire strategy. Stable EC. Stable pH. Stable uptake. Let the plant do the rest. ⸻ Environment — Guided by Plants First, Numbers Second This room is running warm, steady, and honest. Around 26°C with ~60% RH, stable root-zone temperatures, consistent irrigation, and strong air exchange. On paper, some growers will immediately point at VPD charts. That’s fine. But charts do not grow plants. Plants do. Room VPD is useful. Leaf VPD is more useful. And real plant behavior matters more than both. The leaves are praying. Transpiration is stable. Uptake is stable. Resin is building. Flowers are swelling. Nothing is stalling. So the room is not judged by theory alone. It is judged by response. Numbers guide. Plants decide. And right now, the plants are very clearly saying yes. ⸻ Under Canopy Lighting — One of the Biggest Differences in This Run This is one of the clearest upgrades in the room. The under canopy lighting is doing exactly what it was meant to do: keeping lower flower sites productive, reducing weak lowers, and allowing the plant to finish far more evenly from top to bottom. That matters more now than ever. Late flower usually exposes the weak parts of structure. Lower sites fall behind. Shaded flowers stay airy. The top wins. The bottom gets left behind. That is not what happened here. This room is finishing with noticeably better lower-site density, stronger mid-canopy development, and far less separation between top buds and lower buds. Not identical — but much closer. And that means more usable flower, more uniform ripening, and less waste at harvest. The top still leads. But the bottom is no longer irrelevant. That is a major win. ⸻ What We’re Seeing Now This is the transition every healthy flower room should earn. The green is fading. The fans are beginning to surrender. Nutrients are being reallocated. Calyxes are swelling. Resin heads are thickening. Aroma is deepening. Weight is climbing. This is not decline. This is completion. The fade is not a problem to correct. It is the plant finishing on purpose. And paired with the resin production we’re seeing now, this is exactly where these girls should be. They are not just ripening. They are closing. ⸻ What to Expect Next Week Next week should be all about consolidation. Less vertical movement. Less new growth. More density. More oil. More finish. Expect: * continued calyx swelling * stronger late frost production * deeper aroma development * more visible fade through fans and lowers * slower water demand as the finish approaches * heavier flowers and firmer structure across the room At this point, the work is mostly done. Now it is about staying out of the way, keeping the root zone clean, keeping inputs stable, and letting the plants close properly. No panic. No chasing. No overcorrection. Just finish clean. ⸻ Shoutout Corner Big love to everyone walking this one with us. To the platform for giving growers a place to document the real process. To the community for the time, support, questions, conversations, and shared experience. To the day-ones, the regulars, and the silent followers who have been here since the first leaf. To the new faces just arriving now. To the growers learning. To the growers teaching. To the ones showing love. To the ones watching quietly. To the skeptics. To the critics. To the lurkers. To the haters too. If this took even a second of your time, it mattered. Energy is energy, and none of it goes unnoticed. To the genetics for doing what good genetics do. To the tools that help us read them. To the sponsors who support the work. To the growers who keep showing up. Respect all around. See you next week for the close. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Hi liebe Community! 💚 In den letzten zwei Wochen hat sich die Pflanze wunderbar weiterentwickelt. Der Wuchs der Pflanze ist sehr kräftig und nun war es an der Zeit, die Pflanze zu drehen, damit sich ein leicht entstandener Höhenunterschied wieder ausgleicht. So dass sich die seitlich runtergebundenen Triebe besser entwickeln können. Außerdem habe ich nun einige Sonnensegel zurückgeschnitten, damit die Pflanze ihre kompaktere Wuchsform beibehält. In spätestens zwei Wochen, wird die Blüte eingeleitet😉 Die Wachstumsbedingungen im Growschrank sind weiterhin am Optimum und Stabil: ——————— 🌞 Temp: 26°C 🌚 Temp: 20 °C 💨 RH: 68% VPD: 0,7 kPa ———————
